"In recent years, we have systematically modernized our legislative frameworks governing personal data processing and digital transactions. As a direct result, the pathway is fully open for the seamless integration and utilization of international payment systems across Uzbekistan," stated the Head of the Presidential Administration.
❗️ Today, this bilateral engagement extends well beyond conventional digital user services, transforming into a strategic agenda designed to elevate Uzbekistan's national IT capacity and solidify its position as Central Asia’s premier technology hub.
➡️ Key Deliverables and Strategic Focus Areas:
💳 Deployment of Google Pay in Uzbekistan
🔷 Full operational integration of Google Pay contactless payment services is scheduled for Visa and Mastercard cardholders.
🤖 Native Integration of the Uzbek Language into Google Gemini
🔷 Introducing native Uzbek language support within Google Cloud Gemini will unlock unprecedented opportunities for engineering localized AI solutions. Furthermore, enterprise architectures such as BigQuery and Dataplex will be deployed across pilot initiatives to execute large-scale data analytics across key sectors of the economy.
🛡 Cybersecurity and Digital Capacity Building
🔷 Advanced Google frameworks will be deployed to upskill national cybersecurity personnel, establish specialized educational curricula, and expand professional pathways toward globally recognized certifications.
🎓 Talent Integration into the Global Google Ecosystem
🔷 Over 737,000 learners have already completed and received certification through Google's "Human + AI" course series hosted on Coursera. Additionally, an annual exchange program will place 25 top Uzbek university students into direct internships across Google's international offices.
Crucially, this collaborative framework emphasizes the cultivation of the domestic IT ecosystem by accelerating high-growth startups, sponsoring competitive hackathons, and institutionalizing world-class technical education in artificial intelligence.
🧊 This new phase of cooperation with Google accelerates Uzbekistan’s transition from a consumer of global technologies into an active producer, localizer, and exporter of high-tech digital solutions.
"There is tremendous scope for multi-vector cooperation with Google. Ahead of us lie vast, consequential objectives," affirmed S. Mirziyoyeva.
